With the average British weather consisting of rain and ...rain, it's no wonder the occasional blanket of snow can catch us by surprise. With winters getting harsher over the past few years, it's even more important to be prepared.

If you're one of the thousands of people that get stuck inside after an unexpected blizzard, you might want to check out this essential video for tips on how to make winter driving a whole lot easier & safer!

As a rule of thumb, you can use snow chains in Britain as long as there is enough snow or ice (so roads aren't damaged). A lot of people think snow chains are illegal, but they are perfectly above board - as long as they are fitted properly.

If you need help picking the right size snow chains for your car, simply go to our Fast Finder, enter your registration number and we'll only show you the chains that fit your car.
